I did that, and got it running in "root", but it wouldn't setup in a "user" account. The problem line was " /usr/bin/regxpcom >/dev/null 2>/dev/null ". The "dpkg --configure....." step will consistantly stop with "Illegal Operation, line 19: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-browser.postinst". (I am paraphrasing the error message a bit). Strangely, if you run this command, or even the entire script from a BASH command line, it will execute just fine! There may be some permission problems at work here....dunno. I got the install to work using a "sledge-hammer" approach....maybe I will go back and try a little finesse....<g>. Thanks & Cheers, -Don Spoon-
